Creamer

Hugh Wishart

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver creamer by Hugh Wishart. The creamer is made of silver and has a handle on the left side. The creamer's body is shaped like a funnel, wider at the top than at the bottom. The top has a lip around the edge and curves down on the right side to form a spout. The handle is thin and curved, attached to the left side of the creamer. The creamer has a short, thick stem and a square base. The creamer appears to be tarnished in places, with darker patches on the inside of the lip and elsewhere. The background is a plain gray color.
